Good to see they're planning AdBlock in advance. That'll hopefully shut up the nuts who're saying that Google will do anything to prevent AdBlock on Chrome and that it's all a conspiracy.
- boredguy8 18y agoBecause conspiracy theories are grounded in rational thought... "They're just saying it, it will never show up" "They'll have secret hooks to get around AdBlock" "They'll have in-browser ads" &c

- bootload 18y ago"... Good to see they're planning AdBlock in advance. ..." Does that include a mechanism to block textual adverts as well as image based adverts?
- Herring 18y agoYou've got to figure some extensions'll be made by the public. From the specs, it sounds like google will be building extensions. Imo this is a good change, I've always thought firefox should have a team making & maintaining extensions.
- bootload 18y ago"... I've always thought firefox should have a team making & maintaining extensions ..." Probably not a good idea for most (aside from Google who have the resources). Most projects concentrate on the core api, documentation and leave the the add-ons for users. I'm specifically thinking of Firefox, JQuery etc.
- Herring 18y agoGoogle has been bankrolling mozilla for the past couple years now. It's probably in mozilla's interest anyway since extensions provide some good lock-in.
